Let's divide 20040894 by 279
The aim is to understand the frequency of 279 in 20040894.

Going ahead to step 1:
279 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 20 / 279

Advancing to step 2:
279 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 200 / 279

Let's proceed to step 3:
279 goes into 200 0 times with a remainder of 200.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 200, we end up with 200.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 200, then repeat: 2004 / 279

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 2004 by 279, we get 7 with a remainder of 51.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 1953 from 2004 to get 51.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 51, then repeat: 510 / 279

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 279 fits into 510 1 times, leaving a remainder of 231.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 71.0
If we subtract 279 from 510, we get 231.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 231 and repeat the process: 2318 / 279

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 2318 by 279, we get 8 and a remainder of 86.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 718.0
Deduct 2232 from 2318 and we're left with 86.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 86 and continue: 869 / 279

Step 7:
279 can be fit into 869 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7183.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 837 from 869.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 324 / 279

Step 8:
279 can be fit into 324 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 71831.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 279 from 324.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 450 by 279, we get 1 and a remainder of 171.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 71831.1
If we take 279 away from 450, we end up with 171.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1710, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 1710 by 279, we get 6 with a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 71831.16
Deduct 1674 from 1710 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
279 can be fit into 360 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 81.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 71831.161
Subtracting 279 from 360 leaves us with 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 279 fits into 810 2 times, leaving a remainder of 252.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 71831.1612
Deduct 558 from 810 and we're left with 252.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 279 fits into 2520 9 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 71831.16129
Subtracting 2511 from 2520 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 279 fits into 90 0 times, leaving a remainder of 90.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 71831.16129
Subtracting 0 from 90 leaves us with 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

Step 15:
If we divide 900 by 279, we get 3 and a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 71831.1612903
Deduct 837 from 900 and we're left with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
279 can be fit into 630 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 71831.16129032
If we subtract 558 from 630, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

The final result is 71831.16129032 with a remainder of 7.2e-08.
